I think you'd better get used to the idea, in fact. It isn't that this person is trying to take credit for your work, they just aren't crediting you. Well, that's they way it goes. How many people would run apache if it forced a link to its homepage at the bottom of every web page it served?

Are you kidding? statements like this wana make me puke.. IMO if this is what GPL is supposed to mean, we never should have been GPL in the first place.
